The Cut-up Method | A Landscape of the Damned

The Cut-up Method is a series exploring the creative technique popularized by infamous counterculture icon William S. Burroughs referred to as the “cut-up.” Burroughs became obsessed with this method creating both text and image based cut-ups which filled countless binders in his home.

In this episode I build my own cut-up and use it as inspiration for a new photographic image. Join me as I construct my cut-up, evaluate the results, formulate an idea, and make a new image based on my cut-up.

Plus you’ll learn about my creative philosophy and how the cut-up method can serve not only as inspiration for new work, but as a path to letting go of expectations in your creative endeavors.
